KIehm's Meanness-A Spy Upon His
Brother BoOdlers' Plans.
CHICAGO, August -.-An almost iucred-
ible story OF how e. c. Klehm, President
of the County Board, played spy on his
associates in the doodle trial is made pub
lie. The gist of the story is that klehm,
to save himself, agreed To act rs detective
tVr the States Attorney and serve him
with all possible information regarding
plans of the hOodlcrs and their lawyers
during the trial. After that klehm at
tended all meetings of the defendants and
was a close observer of everything. He
and the States Attorney met every night.
Grinnell received notice Of every plan Oi
the defense; so much so, in fact. that
no rebuttal evidence could he offered by
the hoOdlers. Witnesses Tor the State
were produced who testified on every point
To be brought forward by the defense, and
the lattery were compelled To simply deny
everything. During the examination OF
talesmen for the jury there was kept up
system Of correspondence between klehm
and Grinnell by means of signs, by which
the States Attorney was able to detect
whether the person examined was safe
man or not. Klehms pleading guilty was
a surprise, and the action waH caused by
his belief that the promise of Grinneil
would avail him nothing if the jury were
to adiudge him. lie therefore threw HIM
self on the mercy of the prosecution.

For Seven Years An Important Decision
by the Commissioner.
WASHINGTON, August -.-The COmmis-
sioner of Patents has directed that an rS-
tension OF patent for certain ilutlng ma
chine be extended seven years from June
/. l--3. This will he the first ease IN ten
pears in which an extension of patent has
been granted The last case was IN 1871,
when the patent on wood pulp was eX-
tended for seven years, making the total
life Of the patent "A years. THIS extension
of the life of patent was at that time con
drmned by popular opinion, and Tor that
reason no enabling acts of this character
have been adopted by Congress
The Commissioner OF Patents has rem
uurrd Il decision on one of The most impur-
taut questions which has recently com,
before the office. The decision involve.
the technical construction OF claims ia pat
rItS, the employment therein Of abstIarj
phraseology, general, indefinite and yagu,
terms, such as "mcans. mechanism '--
which may be constructed to 81 broaden
and expand the invention that everything
in the art is covered, all future inventions
are required to pay tribute, and the public
pcrpctually taxed. The commissioner
says that the office is required to be more
vig!ant. that an applicant shall not
obtain claims which mislead, vcx and
harass the general public, hut hold him to
his distinct invention - set forth in his
claims not what it is capable OF bcingcN-
panded into by general and indefinite Ian
guagc. The Commissioner holds that.
while patcntee ~ ut liberty tC employ
such lauguagc anG phases as he elects, he
is required To point out hl~ particular in
vCntlou, 20 that the people may not be de-
ludrd nor the inventive genius OF the pub
hr deferred or frightened from pursuits IN

MouGEuEND, KY, August 9.-Thc set
clement ui of the difficulties in Rowan
county ,s becoming more and raore i'm
probable. In fact, persons well informed
believe it to he impossible hy any regular
process OF law.
Murders follow each other with such
rtuidity that il is impossible to try the
parties in the courts Coutinuanccs are
had. witnesses are recognized and then
bushwackiug begins. 1t is q notorious
fact witnesses IN Rowan county are IN
more danger than the principals. II the
present term Of court results in no trials
or in mistrills and contjuuauceS, the wit
ueSSrS will get the worst of II. That IS
what makes conviction so difficult
There is a growing feeling that the only
way out of the graugie is for Governor
Knott to wipe od the slate all the felony
eases on the Rowan docket except lIrce-
ME, and Jet the people begin again, and
hang the first man that commits murder
after that. To pretend to pursue the in
d,rteG ones, or the guilty ones not indict-
eel. according to Law Is not only Jolly to
the present state OF public feeling, bat an
incentive to other murders.

Association rooms There was 4 full at

The meeting was for the purpose of taking
action ON the demands OF the table glass
ware workers, who have been moving to
tgualZe the wage scale, and the moves or
mrnN IN the factories. They would reduce
the number Ot articles made in one move
from 800 to 20, although in Il

time OF each workman ON each turn from

rather reduce the production even if they
do reduce their wages. When the meet
